Homeowners across San Ramon, Danville, and the Bay Area are making moves - and not always by moving.
📊 In Q1 alone, homeowners pulled $25 billion in home equity - the highest first-quarter total since 2008, according to ICE Mortgage Technology. Why now? Because HELOC rates have dropped by 2.5%, and the average homeowner has over $200,000 in tappable equity - adding up to a record $11.5 trillion nationwide (source: Black Knight/ICE Mortgage Monitor).
So what are savvy San Ramon, Danville, and Bay Area homeowners doing with all that equity?
✅ Renovating instead of relisting
✅ Consolidating high-interest debt
✅ Helping their kids buy homes or funding second properties
✅ Selling and using equity to move, downsize, or trade up - without needing to refinance at today’s high rates
💡 Equity isn’t just sitting - it’s reshaping the real estate market.
As a San Ramon and Danville real estate expert, I’m seeing firsthand how homeowners are leveraging their equity to upgrade their lifestyle, boost long-term value, or improve their financial freedom.
